The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Tarnos – La Digue over the next couple of weeks.
First off, don’t grab your board just yet. The first few days—Saturday 18th through Monday 20th—are flat. Tiny ankle‑slappers with onshore winds, no real rideable surf. The wait starts to pay off Tuesday morning the 21st. We get a glassy morning, light wind off the land, and surfable 3‑foot waves from the NNW. The period is short (6s), so it’s not gonna have much push, but it’s clean and you’ll catch a few fun ones. The
